Clenched - Ch.6
She laid the rest of his clothes down on the bed and her hands clenched into fists as if she was terribly angry about something.
He was so angry that he clenched his fists and went to try and punch someone.
Enforced - Ch.6
'When I make mistakes I get punished,' insisted Bruno, irritated by the fact that the rules that always applied to children never seemed to apply to grown-ups at all (despite the fact that they were the ones who enforced them).
All the rules that my mum and dad had Enforced I had to listen to
Muttered - Ch.6
'Well,' he muttered, standing up now and heading over towards the door, suddenly anxious to be away from her, 'I was only saying I didn't like it here, that's all.

Peckish - Ch.6
He wanted to mention that he was feeling a bit peckish right now, but instead, he looked across at Maria and realized for the first time that he had never fully considered her to be a person with a life and a history all of her own.

Reverberated - Ch.6

I screamed as loud as I could and it Reverberated of the walls in the room
Securely -Ch.7
The accident took place a couple of hours later after Bruno had located a suitable tire and Pavel had dragged it to the large oak tree on Gretel's side of the house, and after Bruno had climbed up and down and up and down and up and down the trunk to tie the ropes securely around the branches and the tire itself.
The ropes hadn’t been securely tied around the wheels of the bike
Exhaustion - Ch.7

My dad just said we had won a million dollars, incredulous
Appallingly - Ch.7
'Good morning, little man,' said Kotler, reaching out and - quite appallingly - ruffling his hand through Bruno's hair, a gesture that made Bruno want to push him to the ground and jump up and down on his head.
Someone Appallingly kicked this person for no reason
Irritation - Ch.7
